Dance program for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if a fun, rhythmic dance program can help children with cerebral palsy improve their learning skills. It compares the dance program to usual care to see if dancing helps with thinking and moving.

This study looks at how rhythm affects learning dance moves in children ages 8 to 16, both those with motor disorders (like cerebral palsy or developmental coordination disorder) and those without. It may help understand how to make movement therapy more effective.
This study tests whether a social robot can help children with cerebral palsy improve movement and communication. It uses a friendly robot in therapy sessions to engage your child.
This study tests whether imagining movements and watching others move can help children with cerebral palsy (a condition affecting one side of the body) improve their motor function and everyday abilities. Researchers want to see if these mental and visual techniques work better than standard care.
This trial tests if dance can improve movement, daily function, and quality of life in children aged 3 to 14 who have a motor impairment. It may help kids who can follow simple instructions.
This study looks at whether a supervised exercise program can improve health and well-being in children with mild cerebral palsy. It compares them with typically developing children who are not already in a regular exercise routine.
This trial tests a dance exercise program for people with multiple sclerosis or early memory loss. It aims to see if dancing can help physical and mental function safely at home.
